Hi, I’m Natalie Michels. My husband Trevor and I have owned Coiltek Manufacturing for 18 years, and for the past decade I’ve taken on the role of CEO. Coiltek specialises in coil winding, metal detector coils, customised wire-wound components, electronic assembly, and contract manufacturing. We service a diverse range of industries including mining, medical, defence, audio, rail, environmental, and retail.
I thrive when I can take a helicopter view, working on the business rather than in it. Strategic planning, big-picture thinking, and cultivating strong partnerships are where I’m most energised. I’m also passionate about marketing and enjoy the creativity that goes into shaping direction, brand identity, and long-term goals behind the scenes. Supporting the team and ensuring the business continues to innovate and evolve is central to my leadership.
Alongside this corporate role, I run Alite Mind, my counselling private practice. I specialise in supporting women, teens, and children who are navigating challenges such as grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. My work is grounded in creating a safe, warm, and steady space for those who place their trust in me. I integrate mindfulness-based therapy, expressive and creative therapies, and embodied awareness to gently support emotional healing, resilience, and self-connection. Balancing these two very different businesses is definitely a juggle at times, but they are both roles I value deeply. This is why I really appreciate stepping out of the day-to-day and surrounding myself with like-minded business people, spaces where we can inspire, challenge, and support each other. Being part of a community like this helps me reset, gain perspective, and bring renewed clarity and purpose back into my work.

Joining Tammy's Table has been one of the best business decisions I've made. From the very first meeting, I felt genuinely welcomed. Tammy has created such a warm, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their experiences, challenges and ideas. There is a real sense of trust and confidentiality, which makes it easy to be open and honest. Every member brings a wealth of business experience, and I always walk away having learnt something new. The monthly topics are thoughtfully chosen and explored in depth, and I've implemented many of the ideas and strategies we've discussed into my own business. As a small business owner, it can sometimes feel like you're making every decision on your own. Tammy's Table has become an extension of my support network. It's reassuring to know there is a group of like-minded business owners who genuinely want to help each other succeed, and that I can reach out between meetings if I need advice or another perspective. I've also loved being able to contribute my own experiences and support others. It's a community where everyone has something valuable to offer. If you're looking for genuine connection, support and practical business wisdom, I highly recommend Tammy's Table.

Tammy's Customer Journey workshop was fun, practical and focused on giving me an outcome in the form of a working document to guide streamlining our processes.
